Raw Chocolate Popcorn Cakes

Popping your own popcorn is a really fun activity but it lacks chocolate, don't you think?!

Add some CHOC to your popcorn with these Raw Chocolate Popcorn Cakes.
If you have a pan with a glass lid then this is extra fun because you get to see all of the popping action but, whatever pan you choose, make sure that has a well fitting lid or your popcorn will be popping all over the kitchen!

Ingredients:
50g CHOC Chick organic cacao butter
25g popping corn
5 tablespoons of Sweet Freedom or honey
3 tablespoons CHOC Chick organic cacao powder
2 tablespoons cooking oil (coconut oil is good but use whatever you have)
1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract (optional)

You will also need 12 standard sized bun cases (it's useful to set these out on a tray before you begin).

Method:
First make the popcorn:

• Put a large pan on a medium-high heat and add the cooking oil and popcorn kernels.
• Give the kernels a stir to coat them in the oil and then place the lid on the pan and wait for popping!
• When there has been no popping sounds for 20 seconds, turn off the heat and transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl.

Now it's time to make the chocolate...

• Melt the cacao butter gently in a bowl over a pan of water on a low heat.
• Once the cacao butter has melted add 3 tablespoons of cacao powder and sweeten with 5 tablespoons of Sweet Freedom.
• Add your vanilla bean extract and mix well with a balloon whisk.
• Remove from the heat and pour the chocolate mixture over the popped popcorn.
• Gently mix with a wooden spoon until all of the popcorn is coated in chocolate.
• Spoon the chocolatey popcorn into the bun cases and place them in the fridge for about 10 minutes to set (lick the spoon while you wait!).
• Now all that's left to do is eat and enjoy!
